Lakefinder Session 19: Love and War in One Episode
General Summary
Month 1, Week 4 - Month 2, Week 1, Year 936
The Co-Questers made their final preparations before departing for Sheyuan to find the source of this yuan-ti brainwashing. Stocking up on potions and antidotes against any poisons, Karly and Leena took some personal time to have a date at one of the upscale taverns in Anthep. They arrived at the Desert Rose just in time for Iona Vechian's one-woman show recounting the events of the Ashera Massacre, enjoying the fine Desperan wine and exotic cuisine. It was a pleasant night, discussing life beyond adventuring and what they dreamed of beyond short-term quests. Meanwhile Kai and Eraji roughed it in the Campanel Desert, frying some anhkegs over their campfire. It took five days by land and sea to make it to Kaifeng, the largest Sheyuan settlement. Flick Petras showed up in the caravan disguised as a retainer for the party, ensuring a Shroud presence on the expedition. The Knights of Rarita tried a more diplomatic tack with the party to get them to surrender their 'heretical' magic items, but the party couldn't help themselves when they provoked the knight Jiro with some stinging insults. An ankheg ambush prevented a full-out battle between the two parties, but Jiro made sure to deliver a warning strike at Leena to show his power. Finally the caravan arrived in Sheyuan, navigating the narrow trails through the Fuzan Mtns. on their way to Kaifeng. Two massive doors opened for them at the end of their journey, hundreds of smiling yuan-ti ready to welcome them into Maris' new Sheyuan with open arms.
